Services
Touchscreen Interactives
We create immersive touchscreen experiences featuring 3D tours, interactive maps, and multimedia content. These solutions enhance visitor engagement through custom-built puzzles, video archives, and virtual reconstructions. Our systems integrate seamlessly with physical exhibits while providing analytics for visitor feedback and demographic data collection.
Interpretation Displays
From single signs to complete visitor centres, we design and install interpretation panels using archival materials. Our displays combine historical research with modern design principles, available in formats ranging from printed banners to interactive digital kiosks with multilingual support.
3D Digitisation
Our studio specialises in 3D object scanning and ultra-high-resolution document digitisation. This technology preserves cultural artefacts through interactive online archives and enables virtual exploration of heritage sites through spherical panoramas and reconstructed historical environments.

We oversee heritage projects from concept to completion, including funding applications, architectural integration, and volunteer coordination. Our expertise covers bid-writing for grants up to 3.5m and managing multidisciplinary teams for complex installations.
